Has anyone tried any of the ROMs?
Device: Huawei P10-Plus
Model: VKY-L29 C636
I mostly tried the Resurrection Remix ROM and it works very good. I still have it on my device.
There are some issues that i encountered. I also wrote them on the Telegram support group:
- The battery has a problem. I noticed it with every battery monitoring app. Looks like that i have 1000mAh of capacity, while i have really a ~4000mAh. There is also a huge battery drain (with the stock ROM i had almost 20 hours of battery. With any of the treble ROMs, i have a maximum of 12 hours on standby). I'll explain later how i almost solved this problem.
- Changing the theme looks not possible on RR. When i press "change theme" to "dark" or "black", nothing happens. I solved the need of having a dark theme with Substratum.
- Sometimes the screenshots are VERY pixelated, like a quarter of the resolution of the screen.
- The dialer has a huge problem: the "mute" button does not mute. The rest of the call is good.
- Everytime i boot my phone, there is the "Android is booting..." text on the screen. Nothing more. The System interface just loops the "Android is booting..." text. I fixed it locking the screen, unlocking it with the power button, sliding up from the "dialer" icon, entering the padlock and pressing the "back" button. The text is gone and the phone is ready to work. (check attachments for a demo).
The battery drain can be fixed with three solutions.
1st solution:
The first solution is with Kernel Adiutor. If the scenario is identical as mine, you will notice that the phone is not going into the Deep Sleep state. You can however try to reduce the power consume setting the High CPUs governor on "powersave", while setting the Little CPUs governor on "interactive" or "conservative". That helped me to reduce the battery consume.
This solution has one problem: is ALWAYS active.
To avoid this situation, you can use Tasker, which is the second solution.
2nd solution:
With Tasker, i set two profiles: "Screen Off" and "Screen On".
I added two activities, each one for each profile.
The first activity, the "Screen Off" activity, sets every CPU on "powersleep" mode, saving energy.
The "Screen On" activity sets the little CPUs at "interactive" mode, making the phone smoother and not lagging.
Then i set the profile "Screen On" that has to be activated ONLY if the screen is on the state "ON". Same with "Screen Off", but obviously when screen is on state "OFF".
3rd solution:
The third solution is a something that you can use in addiction with the previous ones.
Just use Greenify to hibernate apps once they are closed. It helped me a lot with old Android phones with a small battery.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR RESURRECTION REMIX ROM GOES INTO A "ANDROID IS BOOTING..." LOOP
Here's the bootloop example. It just goes on forever:
Here's how to troubleshoot it. Just do it every reboot:
